Full Description

Lying in a natural hollow on the lower SE flank of Beinn na Caillich about 80m S of the Allt Buaile nan Aodan at 90m OD is a large twin- celled structure. Aligned E-W the structure's smaller, western cell measures 3m in diameter over walls 0.8m wide, the eastern cell measures 4.5m in diameter over walls 0.8m wide. Access between the cells is by a 30cm square creep. The entrance to the structure faces E and is about 1m wide; a small level platform lies just outside the entrance.
About 6m to the W is a setting of stones 1m in diameter which has a flat slab inside it.
A rectangular stone setting which measures 2m by 1m lies 10m to the E, and a similar setting measuring 2m by 2m lies 10m to the NE.
